Chapter 449: Chapter 449: She Never Fails to Get What She Wants (10)

"You’re not wrong. But, you still don’t understand my brother," Xiao Shulan said, "He’s the craziest. He will definitely do what others think he won’t. I think he won’t fall for the old man’s trap. He definitely won’t touch this project."

"If he doesn’t do it, no one can. The Yang Family is just trying to bait him."

"Here you are mistaken, President Chen. I can’t believe someone as smart as you wouldn’t know how to handle this," Xiao Shulan’s raised finger tapped Chen Jiaming, who was in front of her.

Chen Jiaming didn’t like her impolite gesture, but there was nothing he could do for now. He raised his eyebrows slightly, "What does the Second Miss think?"

"My brother will definitely not accept, no matter what. So, what should that Young Miss Yang do? She will soon realize that she can’t bait my brother just by being naïve. She must seek a partnership. Hurry up and find a way to contact her for me. I expect both the Eldest and the Fourth may already be making their moves."

"As the Second Miss said, last night, we already sent someone to follow Young Miss Yang. We should be able to make contact today. Then we’ll just need to find the right moment," Chen Jiaming finally revealed what he had been doing.

Xiao Shulan cracked a smile, "President Chen, you really didn’t disappoint me."

Meanwhile, Xiao Shuju, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly cursed, "Dare to not answer my call?!"

Chen Jiaming was startled.

Xiao Shulan calmly said to him, "No worries, it’s just a couple’s quarrel. The more they fight, the stronger their bond becomes."

Chen Jiaming quickly grasped the meaning of Xiao Shulan’s words and withdrew his gaze from Xiao Shuju as if nothing had happened.

He was part of Xiao Shulan’s team, which meant he really only served Xiao Shulan. As great as any alliance may seem, they all crumbled easily. There’s only one victor, no such thing as an alliance.

Just then, Xiao Shuju’s phone rang. She hurriedly picked up, "Jiale?"

But it wasn’t him. Quickly, Xiao Shuju changed her tone, smiling sheepishly at the person on the other end, "Oh, Mrs. Ou. Yes, sorry, I thought it was my husband calling."

Ou Chunhua looking for the Third?

Chen Jiaming and Xiao Shulan immediately turned their heads, watching the Third.

Why was Ou Chunhua looking for the Third? Wasn’t she more familiar with the Second?

What? Did the Third have some private deal with Ou Chunhua?

Xiao Shulan’s gaze on the Second deepened sharply. This naive Third, was she really naive?

After a few words with Ou Chunhua on the phone, Xiao Shuju suddenly shouted with joy, "Really? Mrs. Ou wants to collaborate? There’s absolutely no problem with that. We’re currently working on the project that’s said to be the most profitable. Our company’s President Chen is leading the team, and it’s sure to go smoothly. Yes, Mrs. Ou, you can come to me anytime for details. Many are competing for this project, including my good-for-nothing brother."

Xiao Shuju actually mentioned Xiao Yebai. What was going on?

Xiao Shulan’s mind spun rapidly.

Ou Chunhua seemed to have made up her mind and said she would come over right away. So Xiao Shuju stood up and turned to the Second, "Sister, look, I need to go get Mrs. Ou. I’m worried she won’t find her way here, as she has never been to your small company, I guess."

Xiao Shulan forced herself to stay calm. The Third didn’t even have a company of her own, did she?

"Alright then. Why don’t, President Chen, you accompany her to welcome the guest? After all, she is a very important guest."

With Chen Jiaming as her sidekick, Xiao Shuju was of course pleased and nodded at the Second, "Sister, then I shall obediently follow your command and borrow President Chen for a while."

Chen Jiaming straightened his crooked tie and followed Xiao Shuju out. As for the look Xiao Shulan gave him, he caught it all.

Once outside, Chen Jiaming casually inquired, "Third Miss, has Mrs. Ou mentioned collaborating with you before?"

"Yes, she said she likes doing business with me." Xiao Shuju shrugged her chest, suggesting her charm was out of the ordinary.

Chen Jiaming immediately shifted his gaze away from her chest.

Seeing his look of distaste, Xiao Shuju inwardly sneered.

Mrs. Ou’s car soon arrived at the entrance to Xiao Shulan’s company.

With GPS these days, finding a place isn’t difficult.

Xiao Shuju greeted her at the door with a beaming smile, "Mrs. Ou, we meet again."

"Indeed, Mrs. Lin." Ou Chunhua was also polite, walking over and shaking Xiao Shuju’s extended hand as if they were close, "I’m actually in a bit of an economic pinch right now and can’t find investments anywhere."

"You did the right thing coming here, Mrs. Ou. This project will surely multiply your returns."

"What project?"

Xiao Shuju leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "The Yang Family, you must have heard of them, right?"

Ou Chunhua must have caught some rumors, and now with confirmation, she squinted her eyes, "Hmm, that Miss Yang, I’ve met her before. She’s a very straightforward person. I quite like her. It’s just a pity she’s not interested in my son, too proud, only wants the best of the best."

"Oh?" Xiao Shuju didn’t know this detail.

"She always gets what she wants, has been that way since she was little—more formidable than me," Ou Chunhua said.
